I still play Empire, even though it was released in the beginning of the year, however, I've modified the textures of every single playable faction, and also use other mods etc. to make it enjoyable, so in it's original state, it's not the game of the year.

And other than that, I think Dragon Age is the only game this year that I've really enjoyed, Risen was fun aswell, but not as good. So my vote goes for Dragon Age, despite being cliché etc. it was still.. very very good.

Modern Warfare 2 however just.. stressed me out, sure, the scenery was great, but there was just.. too much shit happening, it was like Left 4 Dead with terrorists/russians instead of zombies, combined with Rambo, on steroids.

I had a tough choice between Dragon Age, Risen and Empire. Wouldn't have minded seeing Anno 1404 on the list, in my opinion the best strategy game of the year. Still Dragon Age takes the crown this year I think. Almost done with my second playthrough and and still having a ball, not too many games hold my attention that long.

I'd vote for PC version of Braid but it's not in the list :( Batman or Dragon age? Not sure, both are great. On second opinion, Brutal legend is awesome but since I've only played first 30 minutes or so (on PS3 in a gaming store), I can't say if it's great 'till end. Oh well, Dragon age it is! :)
